• BU students specializing in Science Education engage in a comprehensive course of study in general education and discipline specific science education. The program includes a strong base in the arts and sciences, with coursework in the humanities, social sciences, math and science. Fieldwork with students in area schools is threaded throughout the course of study.
  • The program of study is carefully designed to enable students to meet both the BU Hub capacities and the requirements that enable Boston University to recommend students to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for teaching licenses at the Initial Level as a Teacher of General Science for Grades 5–8, and Biology, Chemistry, or Physics for Grades 8–12. Fulfillment of licensure requirements in the program can lead to licensure in states with which the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has reciprocity.
